Abstract

Even while water sources may not be as harmful, a small coloration could make them unpalatable to consumers. The usage of synthetic dyes is rapidly increasing, which is the cause of this pollution. Since these pollutants degrade aquatic animals' natural environment, the optimum method for removing dyes and heavy metals is taken into consideration for the current study. In order to remove Bromocresol green dye from aqueous solutions, biosorption Tamarind shells powder is utilized. Agitation time, biosorbent size, pH, initial dye concentration, biosorbent dosage, and temperature are among the characteristics that were examined. Lagergren first order and pseudo second order models were included in the kinetic investigation. The study also covered isotherms such as Temkin, Freundlich, and Langmuir as well as thermodynamics. Regression analysis revealed that the experimental data was highly well-fitting and correlated.

Keywords: Sorption, Isotherms, Time, Temperature, pH, Kinetics, Optimization
